Man charged with shooting at Humboldt Park building

A Cook County judge ordered a man held Sunday in lieu of $500,000 bail for shooting at a Humboldt Park home.

Police saw Celester Edwards, 38, of the 4000 block of West Potomac Avenue, firing a gun at the home in the 700 block of North Springfield Avenue on Saturday night, prosecutors said.

The officers were in the neighborhood to investigate the shooting of a 13-year-old boy, who lives at the same address, according to court records.

The boy was sitting on the front porch earlier on Saturday when he was struck in the arm by a bullet, according to court records. He was taken to Norwegian American Hospital.

Edwards appeared in bond court Sunday charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm at an occupied building, use and possession of a firearm by a felon and armed habitual criminal behavior, all felonies. He is expected to appear in court again on Nov. 2.
